USA: Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Statement
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Note:
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirements. SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on
a separation distance of 5 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least
5 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.
To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified,
and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Wi-Fi 11N USB Adapter, Black, 300 Mbps. This wireless adapter is
easy to use and easy to setup. If you are tired of dealing with all those messy wires to connect a
laptop or PC to office or home network this wireless adapter is an ideal access solution for wireless
Internet connection.
A typical internet access application for the USB wireless adapter is shown on the following figure:
There are two different ways to access Internet:
• With a wireless adapter, receiving and transferring signal via a wireless router/AP, then passed
to an ADSL modem, then to local ISP (Internet service provider) through a pair of telephone
lines, or connected by fiber cable.
• With a wireless adapter, receiving and transferring signal via local router/AP (Access Point) or so
called Hotpoint directly.
Tip: An 802.11 WLAN is based on a cellular architecture where the system is subdivided into cells,
where each cell (called Basic Service Set or BSS) is controlled by a Base Station (called Access
Point, or in short AP).

Internet Connection Sharing (Ics)
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is the use of the 3G cellular service, broadband network or other
Internet gateway as an access point for other devices.
If you want to connect to the internet through Soft_AP, select the network connection and press
the “Apply” button.
Your internet connection is then internally shared with the Soft_AP, other devices can be connected
to the (AP) access point and then get access to the internet.
Notice
Wi-Fi offers greater speed and range than Bluetooth®, but it drains your portable adapter batteries
faster than Bluetooth®does. To preserve battery life (i.e. while travelling), turn off your Wi-Fi
connection.
Security
Because wireless networks rely on radio signals to transmit data, they are not as secure as wire
networks are susceptible to viruses and breaches like eavesdropping and need to be protected in
order to be secure.
There are many security measures to safeguard wireless networks, protect the data, and keep
unauthorized users out.
Hotspots, on the other hand, are often free of standard security practices in an effort to make it
easy for anyone to connect. It may be found that some paid hotspots administered by service
providers offer have some level of security, however, when using a hotspot, it’s always a good idea
to be proactive and to employ security measures of your own.
Glossary
Wi-Fi: Short for “wireless fidelity”, a generic label that refers to wireless networks or networking.
Hotspot: A specific geographic location in which an access point provides public wireless
broadband network services to mobile visitors through a WLAN.
Throughput: The amount of data transmitted in a set amount of time.
Bandwidth: the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time
period (usually a second).
